About the piece
In this evocative work by Adolphe Monticelli, a master of the impasto technique, a group of figures in 18th-century style costumes are captured in a moment of leisure. The heavy, jewel-toned application of paint and dramatic lighting create a sense of mystery and romance characteristic of his unique pre-Impressionist style.
